The Cremator

“Now, not for nothing. We’re living through some… interesting times, and this is about, apropos of nothing, the rise of authoritarianism in Czechoslovakia. Just might be worth a look: The Cremator. It’s on my list I made for Criterion during the pandemic. It’s one of the best uses of narration that I’ve ever experienced in film. And it’s a very deft Performance here. And a terrifying film.”

“I'm gonna take The Cremator. I love this film because it's very disturbing and kind of sick but funny at the same time and when I find myself laughing at things that are pretty disturbing I you know I think the directors you know they did what they wanted spot on.”
